What two numbers multiply to 254 and add up to 129?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 254 and add up to 129?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 127

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 127 multiply to 254 and add up to 129:

2 × 127 = 254
2 + 127 = 129

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 129x + 254 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 2 ) (x + 127)

To summarize, since 2 and 127 multiply to 254 and add up 129, you know that the following is true:

x² + 129x + 254 = (x + 2 ) (x + 127)
